Do Now: How did you make out with your resolution or virtue? How long were you able to follow it? Why?
Classwork:

1. Read Robert Fulghum's list of virtues. How does it differ from Franklin's? Pick a virtue from this list and describe the behaviors that might accompany it. Use Franklin's precepts as an example.
2. Read the aphorisms listed from Poor Richard's Almanac. Explain three of them. What might the situation look like in a contemporary society?
Homework: Select two more aphorisms to define and apply to a real-world situation.
